Happy Birthday Prince George

Prince William and Kate Middleton’s son,Prince George turns 2 today and we  are so glad to celebrate with the family.

It feels just like yesterday when the little prince was born but his already growing fast.



One thing that we have come to realize about Prince George since we have been introduced to him is that he is a happy little child as he is caught smiling, laughing or generally in a high spirit almost every time.



He has indeed warmed our hearts with his cuteness,giddiness and character, so to celebrate him, we will showcase several of his pictures that has captured our hearts.



An official portrait of the Duchess, Prince William, George and dog Lupo was released to celebrate Mother’s Day.



A photo showing the Prince in Petit Bateau dungarees – was released to celebrate his 1st birthday on July 22.



First personal official portraits of the Prince, taken in Kensington Palace.



The Prince wore a blue jumper and shorts ensemble as he arrived to meet his little sister, Princess Charlotte, at St Mary’s Hospital in London.



Probably the cutest you ever seen, the royal siblings were photographed at Anmer Hall in Norfolk – the Cambridges’ family home – two weeks after Charlotte was born.

Kendall Jenner Gets Witchy (and Leggy) at the 'Paper Towns' Premiere

There's a lot of talk about "squad goals" and "girl gangs" in fashion these days — especially among models — but it truly does warm our hearts when the industry's biggest names support each other's off-the-runway projects. Kendall Jenner, whose gal pal Cara Delevingne is starring in the highly anticipated "Paper Towns" (which hits theaters this Friday), attended a screening of the film in Los Angeles on Saturday, wearing a two-piece evening look from Zimmermann's fall 2015 collection that really caught our attention.

Despite its sexy keyhole opening at the chest, the puff-sleeved, high-necked top could have had an aging effect; but thanks to the double-slit skirt — which allowed Jenner to show plenty of leg — and unfussy ponytail, the full look had a witchy, '70s feel to it. To punch up the monochromatic oxblood ensemble, the model added some metallic gold shoes by Tom Ford, which injected just the right amount of red carpet glamour. By (mostly) covering up on top and showing off her best assets (those legs), this is great a lesson in playing to your strengths when it comes to getting dressed.

When you're a model, two slits are better than one.
